We understand the grand jury didn't
investigate the Sheriff's delinquent tax
account any further back than for the
taxes for 1886, which accounts for the IA
vorable report they made. If they had
made full investigation, they would
have found the matter just as we have
stated in another column.
The LEADER acknowledges the honor
of a call this week from our worthy Dis
trict Attorney, Hon. Frank McLain. We
have heard hardly breath of opposition
in Lincoln county to his denomination
and this is as it should be. He has serv
ed only one term, made a faithful anC
fearless official, and deserves the endorse
ment of a reelection.
A new addition to the Southern boon
will be the grand millinery establishment
of Mrs. Chas. GOTTEN which will open OF
the 18th of September on Monticello
street, next to the popular Boswell house
